Everyone has their own talents, interests, and goals. Some strive to achieve, while others just watch as the world passes them by. All of these people make up the student body, YOU 5 6 7 8 Student Life Student Life, to many, is the most important part of the CHS scene to be dealt with but to the student body of CHS. Student Life was just that, how the students lived. There were many facets to Student Life and people were offered their choice. Dances were available for those with disco inclinations. Music was offered, instrumental and vocal. Sports, interschool and intramural, was a popular outlet for students. Drama and school productions were available for the entertainment-minded. There were, of course, studies and academic pursuits for all. Student Life was just another way for the CHS students to grow within themselves, to grow as a group and as individuals. The opportunity for communication and expression was there and many took advantage of it. Some found the ability to relate, to touch, to feel pride and...TO SHOUT. 5 1.

Three months vacation from readin’, writin’, and ’ritlimetic meant time for students to pursue interests such as sports, horseback riding, sunbathing, swimming, working or sight-seeing. The county fair marked the mid-point of summer. Many students entered livestock or domestic competitions and in the evenings virtually everyone could be found on the midway. By late August when school resumed, many mixed emotions concerning summer could be perceived. Although pleasant for most, it had also bored many students. Before long, however, the sweltering heat was replaced by frost and summer once again became merely a memory. 2 3 6 1. Julie Beckenhauer keeps a watchful eye on the little ones at the city pool. 2.

The theme song was “Back Together Again” with music provided by “Sky Dancer.” On the evening of October 13, the Homecoming parade wound its way through town featuring such groups as the marching band and the pep club. Candidates for Homecoming King and Queen were announced at the pep rally after the parade. The coronation was at halftime of the game against Lincoln High. Gary Becher was crowned king and was given the honor of crowning Sue Selig as queen. Booster club sponsored this year’s activities under the direction of vice-president Mary Gangel. 6 17 Godspell features smallest cast ever The musical for this year was “Godspell”, a sort of modern day version about the life of Jesus Christ. It was staged on November eleventh and twelfth. The story, based on the Gospel according to Matthew, begins with Jesus finding his apostles. From there it proceeds through various incidents and parables, up to the crucifixion. This musical had the smallest cast ever. With the exception of Jerry Bartholomew, who played Jesus Christ, and Scott Zwick, cast as John the Baptist and Judas, every actor’s role was an individual interpretation of the play. Those actors developing individual characters were Val Presley, Barb Starosik, Phil Smith, Mark Stohr, Beth Heins, Shelly Raitt, Tracy Engel, and Jeannie Aerni. The rock music was provided by a back-up band consisting of Lyndy Grubaugh, Mike Fraka, Paul Richardson, Leslie Nielsen, and Susie Hervert.

Students discovered there were a variety of businesses and stores available for employment. Some students participated in a work release program while others just earned their money to put it towards things they wanted. The students in the work release program received school credit as well as being paid. This program gave them a chance to apply their knowledge practically. A preview of this type of program gave students more of an idea if they wanted to continue in this particular line of work in the future. 32 I. Paul A they displays one of his many talents. 2.

If it was hot, they would wear a colorful shirt and maybe thongs, or, if it was cold, pull on a sweater and a ski jacket. Dressing up usually consisted of a three-piece suit for the guys and a knee-length dress or gauchos with boots for the girls. Both guys and girls still wore their hair blown back, or, for the girls, curled. Also, girls sometimes accented their hair with combs, barrettes, or colorful flowers. There were many types of shirts worn. For the girls, the most popular were cowl necks and draw-string. A plain shirt could be complimented by a decorative scarf worn many different ways. The guys wore many different types of shirts also, but the main styles were flannel shirts and T-shirts. 5 6 1 1. The average attire of a group of sophomore boys. 2.

EMH Active winter kept students occupied The winter was the coldest winter on record, with the most consecutive days below 32 degrees ever. Students kept busy with many different activities. Between basketball, wrestling, and swimming, students kept very active. Intramural basketball was also brought back on the scene. After many years of doing without, C-club had a very successful effort at bringing back intramural sports. Also, various organizations sponsored tape dances throughout the school year so the students very rarely had nothing to do. 6 7 Academics The most obvious area for CHS students to excel in was one for which the school was designed, Academics. Though many people wouldn’t admit it, it was their purpose in attending school. There were those students who found Academics their main way to express themselves. Many of these were the top students of the class and always got the better grades. Then there were the athletically inclined students whose main emphasis leaned to sports. These people had their athletic achievements and may have deemed Academics to be less important. Finally, there existed at CHS the enviable student who was a favorable combination of both. This student was always sharp and alert in class as well as on the playing field. Whatever the type of student, CHS was a place for expression and learning, the final goal for all................ TQ SHOUT. 6 1. “I have not come to praise Caesar, but to bury him,” quotes Rus Maneely. while standing over Julee Courtier during an Knglish class. 2.

Many of the new ideas affected the students individually. One of the major conflicts was activities versus academics. The board’s main intention was to research this area and make recommendations that would help to resolve this conflict. A second and important goal was to establish and further develop attendance policies and procedures. The administration also strived to become more involved with the parents as well as the students. Mr. James Sterup explained that they “intended to invite parents of sophomore students to visit school in order to acquaint them with the building’s operation and to answer appropriate questions.” The board also developed a Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, which was given to every student at the beginning of the school year. It contained several of the usual procedures as well as some new developments. Aside from the monthly board meetings and the continuous attention the administration placed on the senior high, there were many everyday responsibilities that needed to be handled. Each of the four men that work directly in the school; Mr. Jim Sterup, Mr. Dave Swartz, Mr. Cliff Hopp, and Mr. Leon Wragge. have many individual goals and responsibilities. Mr. Sterup worked toward better development of the staff and the curriculum while Mr. Swartz worked more with student management. This was his last year in that position though, as he replaced Mr. Delbert Miller as District Business Manager. Mr. Hopp directed activities and Mr. Wragge was the Vocational Programs Director. 40 7 1. Relaxing during a moment of silence is Dr. Fred Bellum, Superintendent. 2.

Alternate Education Uses Study Courses Alternate Education, “A.E.”, stressed individuality through study courses. Better study habits were achieved by students working at their own rate. Alternate Education or Vocational Education offers individualized learning experiences through a variety of independent study courses not available in the regular cirriculum. Students enter A.E. classes through cooperative decisions of the administration, guidance, teachers and students who feel these classes will help the students achieve maximum learning. Many pressures of other regular classes are none existant in A.E. Working habits, ability and attendance are used as basis for admission. Study units include English, History, Modern Problems and Vocational study courses plus learning disability assistance. 1 42 1.

Miss Christine Lund, the Educable Mentally Handicapped teacher, directed her students studies toward developing skills which would be needed for jobs after high school. Each student took courses which they needed the most or which would improve different abilities. Students got more out of the classes offered this year with a more individualized program. In resource room 104, classes were held six periods of the day with nine students attending. 43 Guidance provides required information The guidance department has proven itself to be an important area in the school. This area aided students in all grades. College selection, financial aids and scholarships, graduation requirements, ACT tests and college admissions were inquire about most by seniors. Sophomores and juniors were aided in areas of course selection and personal counseling. The guidance area was also a place to talk to representatives from the Marines, Army or other such areas. Colleges also sent representatives to provide interested students with information about their schools. Working with students, parents, teachers and administration proved important not only to students, but the rest of the faculty as well. 44 5 1.

CHS office workers perform key duties Playing an important role in keeping everything running smoothly were the CHS office personnel. Key duties ranging from typing bulletins to figuring out students’ schedules were all part of the daily routine. The Business, Home Ec., English, and History departments each had one secretary to help with the paperwork and taking care of supplies. Registration for English courses was taken care of by Mrs. Callan in the English Department. The guidance secretaries helped with students’ schedules and making sure that the seniors had met all their graduation requirements. The secretaries in the main office were kept busy writing annual reports, bookkeeping, and other general office duties. Helping students, teachers, and administrators kept the office personnel busy throughout the year. y 8 47 Resources available for students’ needs Without the knowledge and assistance of Mr. Ken Schreiber, Mrs. Loretta Dixon and Mrs. Alice Jones, Columbus High would have been lacking the availability of resources and equipment that are so often taken for granted. While it may have appeared that the greatest share of their time was spent behind a desk, they were actually kept constantly busy typing and running off hundreds of worksheets each day, assisting classes, assembling reference materials and much more. Mr. Schreiber’s goal was to obtain as much as possible for the library within the budget he was allowed. This included resources and visual aids as well as the financing of some new decor for the library. He has become more optimistic through the years and hopes to add carpeting, draperies and some of the students’ art work within the next two years. In addition to these changes, he has devised a new system for scheduling all the media equipment. By centralizing the equipment and picking it up at the end of the day, the classes are able to use the equipment more. 48 1. Mr. Ken Schrciber makes out his media schedule. 2. Julie Bcckenhauer exhibits extreme pain as Mrs. Marilee Kyster pricks her finger. 3. Mrs. Marilee Kyster spends many hours of her time completing students’ health records. 4.

Many of the students and faculty of CHS may not realize what is involved in being a nurse for the entire Columbus City School System. Mrs. Marilee Kyster fulfills her duties as nurse for all students, from Kindergarten to High school, by conducting dental programs and other health checks, throughout each of the grade schools as well as Columbus Jr. and Sr. high schools. During the past year, she has also conducted a program towards improving sex education in high school. One of her steps to improving this program was to have a parents’ night that would enable them to get an idea of what parents wanted their children to learn. She also felt that students should be able to come to the nurse in confidence to discuss any matter that was of importance to them. 49 Math courses offer selection to pupils This year’s math classes strove to teach students how to apply what they leam to the various problems and situations of everyday life. A selection of courses gave students a chance to work at the level that best fit their needs. Courses such as Geometry, Algebra II, Math III and Math IV were offered as year long college prep courses. Trig was offered as a one semester course for seniors. Business Math was offered as a general course teaching math basics and applying them to the business world. Helping students learn to apply their mathematical knowledge was an important goal of the department. 50 6 1. Math proves to be confusing to Cheryl Krings. 2.

Each course taught students not only the basic requirements but also how to work in labs and give their ideas on many subjects. Courses offered to the seniors included physiology and physics. Physiology dealt with the human anatomy and was designed for students entering the medical field. Physics, both general and advanced, was offered to prepare students for college. Chemistry was the primary course offered to juniors with biology offered as an individualized course mainly to sophomores. The science program gave each student the basic background for future studies in the various areas. 8 1.

Students could choose the type of class that best fit their needs. College prep courses were availiable to those students planning to continue their education on the college level. General courses were offered to those who did not plan to attend college. English composition classes were also offered on various levels. Sophomores were required to take one semester of composition with advanced courses availiable to juniors and seniors. English courses helped students to gain knowledge in literature and to learn various writing techniques which improved their writing skills. 1.

In U.S. History, a class required of all juniors, students experienced “simulation games,” such as Indian trials, investing in the stockmarket, and even passing legislation. Along with these projects, there were also several guest speakers introduced into the classrooms.

As a course designed for senior students who are primarily college bound, it includes extensive college-level information, such as automated accounting, corporate accounting, income tax accounting and more. The class enabled accounting students to fill in the gap between their junior year and college and to acquire an in-depth background in the fundamentals of accounting. Another new concept initiated in the Business Department was a simulated program offered to students in the Office Practice classes. The students worked in a simulated office situation throughout second semester and were given a realistic approach to working in an office as an occupation. Joining the Business teachers was Miss Carolyn Braun, a student teacher from Kearney State College. As well as gaining teaching experience, Miss Braun enabled the students to have more individualized classroom attention. In comparison to other classes taught at CHS, Mr. Rist remarked, “The increasing number of students enrolling in the Business Department is due to the practical nature of the courses taught. Students learn many valuable things that will help them cope with problems that arise in everyday life. 6 7 1. Mi. Bill Jackson discusses a typing assignment with students. 2.

Students learn technical ability, confidence, creativity and productiveness through assigned projects or extra credit projects of the students’ own design. Most projects are used by the students upon completion. CHS has a prompt Equipment Replacement Schedule to update all equipment in the department. Classrooms try to be efficiently equipped with the essential machines and tools to give students the neccessary training for jobs in their field of study. Classroom and lab work are assigned for first year students in Automotives who learn engine parts and maintanance. Seniors work on their own cars, improving their engines with replacements and tuneups. Drafting involves up to three years of increasing advancement in technical drawing. Drawing of basic objects to difficult layouts of entire buildings were covered in Technical, Engineering, and Architectural drawing. Many students were entered in spring drafting contests and received ribbons and honors. Electronics starts with knowledge of AC and DC circuits and expands to complex circuits of machines. Students also build electronics projects each semester from scratch. Home wiring is dealt with mainly in Electricity classes. First year students learn to operate most of the machines in the Metals Department by constructing several different projects. Second and third year students use these operational skills to build individual projects. In Woods, the first year involves work on night stands and essential machine operation. Cabinet making entails the second year and the final year students make a garden shed in winter and build a garage on an actual house in Spring. 1.

One particular project was conducted by several CHS faculty members in the judging of students’ baking of breads, cakes and cookies. Each class section experienced many forms of learning. Clothing classes visited Brandeis and Fashion Fab. The Barber Surgeons also were guest speakers for this class in a discussion of hair care. Foods and Nutrition classes toured Hinky Dinky, Safeway, and Jack and Jull in a study of comparative shopping. They also took a field trip to Dodge, NE to visit cheese and meat plants. One of their projects was to cook a meal for the elderly at the Heritage House. Microwave and cake decorating demonstrations, along with a unit on foreign foods were also a part of the class. In the Human Development classes, students held a nursery school for fifteen children from the Little People’s day care center. They had a Christmas party, and made gifts for needy children. They also toured the obstetrics ward at the hospital. Housing and Home Furnishings was another class that offered a lot of outside experience. A real estate agent discussed buying homes and the class toured a house in order to learn the important things to check for when purchasing a home. They also visited Countryside Mobile Homes and spoke with the City Engineer on the subject of zoning. A fifth class, co-taught by Miss English and Mr. Jed Rood, is Adult Living. Students visited the Nebraska Health department and Judge Gerald Rouse spoke to them about teenage marriage. Whichever the student, boy or girl, or whatever the class, Miss Mary English said that anyone can be a homemaker. 64 1.

This course also helped students to develop and express their ideas. Students learned a variety of ways to prepare speeches and the different types of speeches they could use. The highlight of the course was a class dinner held once each quarter. The dinner was then followed by after-dinner speeches that the students prepared themselves. Journalism was offered to any student who had had one semester of sophomore composition. Student’s learned special techniques that could be applied to the areas of annual and newspaper. News editing, writing, and reporting were discussed in the newspaper area. Photography, layouts, copy writing and headlines were part of the topics discussed for annual. Journalism was required for any student who wished to serve on either of the school publications. 4 66 1. Demonstrating how to crop pictures is part of Mr. Korver’s lesson plan for the day. 2.

Guest speakers were very useful to help students better understand the culture, characteristics and celebrations of Spain, Mexico, and Germany. Spanish students participated in the second annual exchange day where Fremont students came to CHS for a day. They toured the school and classes plus presented skits and songs in Spanish. German students sponsored an underpriviledgcd child from overseas as their class project. Monthly dues were paid and sent for the benefit of this person. German students celebrated the beginning of spring with a large meal and games during class. German classes celebrated the “Faschung” season as Germans do every year. Many traditional dishes were prepared by the students. Mike Tuma and Lori Wurdeman left for South America where they lived with Spanish speaking families for a year. They attended the regular school year there which would be the equivalent to one year at CHS. Karen Fletter joins PE instructors staff Miss Karen Fletter explained her job as “presenting the students with a wide variety of activities so that they might find one or more that they enjoy and wish to continue.” Fletter was the new sophomore girls physical education teacher this year. She said she liked working at CHS. “They (the students) are well behaved.” When asked if she liked her job, Mrs. Dorothy Courtier, the junior girls instructor, answered, “very much so, especially with the new facilities we have.” Courtier also suggested that future changes in the department’s offerings might include units on Cardio Pulmonary Resusitation and first aid. Mr. Larry Rathe, the sophomore boys teacher, and Mr. Bart Bartholomew, the junior boys instructor, suggested that the physical education offerings be more elective by the students. 70 1.

All sections spent many hours practicing for their numerous performances. The teachers worked with students both individually and in groups, enabling the music department to have a successful and enjoyable year, according to many of the students. 9 73 74 Involvement makes successful program With a goal of teaching students an appreciation of theatre, the many different areas of work and the team effort involved in a performance, Miss Ruth Schlobohm conducted a very successful theatre program. Classes this past year have been taught in the usual manner with with emphasis placed on the areas of acting, set design, lighting, make-up and publicity. A field trip to Lincoln was also taken as a part of the program. Interest has increased, however, as classes have grown in size, and the number of sections have been increased to five in Theatre I and four in Theatre II. Theatre II students took part in designing and building scenery for the plays “Pride and Prejudice” and M A S H as well as performing their own productions, “Cop and the Anthem, “Ladies of the Tower,” “The Wildflowering of Chastity,” and “You May Stay After School.” 1.

Janette Wirth and Chris Pipes rub down a clay project for a special texture. 1 3 5 76 Creativity is shown with a variety of art Students expressed their creativity through an assortment of artistic work. High enrollment brought an increase in the amount of art work done this year. Instructors and students traveled to Lincoln and Omaha to visit art sites for the purpose of inspiration. Then at the end of the year, the students showed their own art work at the annual art festival held in the Columbus Senior High gym. Two new classes were offered for students who wished to do advanced work in pottery and painting. A combination pottery-painting class was held ninth period for this reason. Pottery students were able to do more wheel work and make their own glazes while painters experimented more with different ideas and colors, and they had more personal help from their instructor. Addie Seabarkrob (pottery) and Jean Detlefsen (painting) felt this class was important to give these people a better education in art. A newly converted drying room, complete with three pottery wheels and more drying shelves, provided better working conditions for pottery students. 77 Cafeteria Cut’s Waste; Janitors Clean Halls Special emphasis was placed on keeping food waste to a minimum in the cafeteria. Custodians kept halls and classrooms in order and clean. The Columbus high kitchen participated in a national program to cut down on the amount of food thrown away during lunch periods. Students were encouraged to take the foods that they would eat so they would not throw away as much food as in previous years. Miss Lucille Holmann, food service director, commented that “we have been pressured to carry out this program to save money.” The cooks continued to serve the best meals possible which pertained to the new program. Special meals were prepared for those students who were on special diets. The cafeteria also made the main meals for nine local grade schools. The CHS kitchen staff includes Lucille Holmann, Josephine Bcrnt, Ruby Johnson, Mary Ann Lehr, Donna Lewis, June Nee-meyer, Helen Nitz, Loretta Nitz, Irene Oleson, Inez Pangish, Beth Sessler, Margeret Smets and Dorothy Taufar. Custodians reported having no special hassels during the year. They cleaned the classrooms and hallways daily and straightened up after school activities. 78 1.

Though not verbal, it was a necessary form and proved to be a mainstay in the life of CHS. There was quite a variety of sports and seasons to choose from whether participant or spectator. Fall brought outdoor sports like football, golf and boys’ tennis. The girls were heavily involved in the volleyball and swimming schedule. Winter brought many indoor sports with some competing for the same audience. Basketball (boys’ and girls'), swimming (boys’) and wrestling were the highlights of the winter season with the wrestlers obtaining a 2nd place in state competition. Spring sports began and the competition for students' time also began. Track, girls’ tennis and baseball were the main activities but the time to participate grew smaller as finals, prom and graduation neared. Actual participants learned much in their time on the teams, things like conduct and good sportsmanship. Many learned the pain of defeat and a few experienced the joy of victory. But through it all, the athletes were proud of their sport and themselves. They had the courage......TO SHOUT. 6 1. Being declared state champion is junior Randy Griffith. 2.

The other victory came when Fremont High had to forfeit all their games for violating Nebraska State Athletic Association rules. “We had real good effort from the players”, said Rood, “We could have given up during the games, but we kept on trying throughout the season.” “Lincoln Southeast was our best game. We played good both offensively and defensively for the first three quarters before being defeated 29-12 by the number one team in the state at that time,” said Rood. “The seniors on the team were great. They made an enjoyable year out of what could have been a very miserable one. They maintained a good attitude and kept their heads up throughout the season,” commented Rood. CHS had two players earn spots on the East Big Ten team. Gary Becher was listed as an offensive back and John Justice was listed as a defensive back. Both were unanimous picks. Backs and ends include: (Back row) Gary Be-cher, Pat Bartholemew, Mark Jilek, Jerry Man-cuso, Scott Foutch, Dirk Moore, Tom Munson. Steve Mancuso, Head Coach Jed Rood.

Footballers compiled a 1-6 record. “We gained a lot of experience and the guys learned a lot of new things which should help us in the future seasons,” Neese said. “We played well throughout the season, but suffered a couple bad breaks at the wrong time.” Neese cited juniors Roger Bullington, Scott Fouch and sophs Curt Peterson and Mike Rambour for their good play during the campaign. 7 1.

Ladies swim team meets season goal With the intent of bettering their record by 50% this year, the girls swim team was required to win only one meet. But what they did, to coach Barry Johnson’s pleasure, was win five of their eleven meets. The CHS lady swimmers had a total of five wins over six losses for the season. “I felt the main highlight of the season was winning our district conference championship” stated coach Johnson. Freshmen were a strong part of the team also, as Sandi Davis was voted most valuable swimmer and the bid for most improved swimmer went to Heidi Sloth. In summing up the season coach Johnson said; “I think that we swam up to and beyond our expectations this year, as it was only our second season.” 86 Team members are as follows: (back row) Coach Karen Plotter, Coach Berry Johnson, Barb Kline, Sue Snow, Carmen Vrbka.

Tennis team shows good team depth Improving throughout the year was a strongpoint for the 1977-78 tennis team under the direction of Coach Gary Duranski. Beating Fremont 6-3 in a dual at the end of the year, placing 4th at Big Ten, and 6th at state were just a few examples of the improvement shown. Every meet the Discoverers finished better than the year before. One of the highlights of the year was scoring against Lincoln Southeast, as Columbus hasn’t scored against the Knights in many years. “We peaked at the end of the year to make it a fairly successful season,” senior Bob Shively commented, “Our biggest strength was team depth, as there was a great deal of competition among the team for each position on the team. The Discoverers finished 2-6. f 4 1. Mike Schcidegger returns an opponent's shot with a good backhand. 2. Taking a break to regain concentration.

We spent many long hours practicing, including Saturdays and Sundays, but I guess it payed off.” “I think that our main weakness,” said first-year coach Larry Rathe, “was lack of experience, as we only had two seniors on the team, but even with this weakness, we had a good season.” The girls golf team ended its season with a second in the Trans-Nebraska Conference and a tie with North Platte for fifth at state. 90 1, 2, 5.

They were just plain tired.” After practicing hard all season, the team missed going to state by one stroke, placed fourth in the Trans-Nebraska Conference, fourth in the districts, and junior Jan Struck placed second as an individual in the Big Ten meet. 92 I.

Cross Country: very lonely sport Loneliness and determination, the qualities of a cross-country runner. “It takes a special person to be a cross-country runner,” said coach Ron Callan. “When you are out there on a cross-country run, you are all alone, and are running for the best time that you can, and no one can help you if you get in a bind.” “To run cross country, you must be very physically fit,” said Callan. “The boys on the team run miles every morning, in the summer and during school, and they really put their effort forth. Everyone was really dedicated to the team.” 1. Keith Grotelueschen nears the half way mark in a race through Pawnee Park. 2. A Columbus runner picks up his finish marker in a race at Camp Luther. 3.

Including the runnerup District championship title. With first year coaches Nancy Hegi (head) and Bob Korver (J.V. and sophomore) the following records were compiled-var-sity; 12-3, J.V.; 4-6 and sophomore; 3-1. Donna Steiner was voted most valuable player by the team. Coach Hegi reviewed the season saying, “The 1977-78 season was a year of dedication for the girls volleyball team. It was a deserving year because they worked hard for their accomplishments. I feel that a 12-3 record with two conference championships is rewarding for any team.” 1 5 1.

The Discoverers faced 10 rated teams throughout the year including state champion Lincoln East. “When we matched up (height wise) against teams we played them pretty tough. We played well against Norfolk, Lincoln Southeast. Omaha North, and Lincoln Northeast.” Both Norfolk and Southeast were rated teams throughout the year and both qualified for state. “We lacked a little size and some of the teams we played had more talent than us,” Rathe explained, “plus we didn't always play with the discipline needed to win.” It's always going to be tough for Columbus to compete in Class A since we are one of the smallest schools,” Rathe added. Rathe said, “There were times in most of the games where our shooting went cold. This was a contributing factor for many of our defeats.” Senior forward Bob Braithwait was an all Big Ten selection. 99 7 Experience gained by sophs and J.V.’s Despite suffering a 4-12 season, J.V. basketball coach Dick Luebbe was pleased with his team’s showing against both Grand Island and Hastings. “Beating Grand Island and Hastings would have to be the highlights of the season, said Luebbe, “The reason for the 4-12 record was definitely the lack of height and lack of consistent scoring. Luebbe cited juniors Gregg Cruickshank, Roger Bullington, Pat Tooley, Brian Fraser, and Luke Lemke as some of his more consistent players. “The win-loss record was disappointing, but not discouraging. Most of the time, the effort was there. For most part, improvement of individuals was good, concluded Luebbe. “Beating both Fremont and Norfolk on the road would have to be the highlights of the season, termed first year sophomore coach Mark Mueller on the 77-78 sophomore basketball team. “We suffered from a lack of size and because of this we got out rebounded nearly every game, but made up for this factor by being aggressive and out running our opponents. Mueller mentioned Jim Herrold and Lynn Gellerman as the most consistent players. “Although we had a 2-8 record, said Mueller, “we got 100% from all the players at all times.

Although the lady roundballers were quick and boasted an effective fastbreak, they couldn’t compete with the taller more aggresive teams. “Lack of height hurt us all season. However, desire and scrappiness helped make us a team,” stated Coach Steve Klutman. Klutman also said, “The girls started getting things together towards the end of the season and I felt we were only a couple of games away from putting it all together. But we still needed to shoot 40% on field goals and up to 60% on the charity stripe to make us a balanced team.” The varsity finished the season with a 5-11 record while the junior varsity coached by Jon Trabert had a 6-9 mark. Standout Cindy Aerni was given All Conference honors. In closing Klutman summed up the season. “We came close in districts and I think if we could have won that first game we could have had a ticket to state.” 102 1.

We kept improving with team spirit and leadership, and to finish in 1 the money at state was quite an accomplishment.’ “The Norfolk dual, the Big Ten Conference, and the State Tournament were our best team performances,” said Neese, “but I was proud of the way we wrestled in all the tournaments.” CHS qualified nine for the the State Tournament, resulting with championships from senior Kirk McAndrew and junior Randy Griffiths.

We had a very good season because we had a good group of guys to work with, he added. successful year The Junior Varsity team ended with another good season, and a 10-1 dual record, with their only loss coming against Norfolk. Highlights of the year were a second place finish at the Randolph Invitational and a third at Clarks. 107 1 Boys swim placing exceeds state goals With hopes of placing in the top ten at state, the CHS boys proved themselves by pulling out a ninth place finish. “I was very pleased with the way our kids swam. We swam very strong. Everybody who swam, swam their best times,” Coach Berry Johnson said. Johnson also noted that this year state was a lot tougher than last year. “The first place times weren’t as good, but the depth was much better.” The Columbus tinners had all-3 mark for the season and copped both Trans-Nebr. and Big Ten titles. Outstanding swimmers were senior Randy Eihausen and junior Mike Hoffman who took Columbus' highest state honors of sixth place in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke respectively. 1.

Also this year the high jump record was tied by Mimick. Head coach Betty Weiser said, “More points could have been scored during the season, but due to illnesses and injuries I lost many potential people. We did, however, send two people to the state meet in North Platte.” Senior Michelle Rambour reached the finals in the shot put but failed to place. Sophomore Linda Svoboda scored two team points by placing fifth in the long jump. According to Wieser, “We had a lot of improvements by individuals this year.

The team had a 1-7 dual record for the season with no. 2 doubles team Cindy Aerni and Becky Person taking first at the Kearny Invitational, no. 1 doubles Aerni and Donna Steiner taking both a first place gold at Trans.-Nebraska, third place medal at Big Ten and second at State.

Tire administration had urged the student body to join at least one organization of their choice and many CHS students took advantage of the variety. Many chose an organization by its affiliation or purpose. For example, many who chose Booster Club wished to support their school teams throughout their respective seasons. Others were interested in a club’s activities. DECA, for instance, was a popular organization that had a multitude of activities to offer, like parties, conventions and the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon. Whatever the choice, whatever the [ reason, CHS students found through Organizations a chance to do something they were interested in, to express themselves in the club and most importantly..............TO SHOUT.

The annual fall picnic took place in August at Pawnee Park. Here the sophomores were welcomed to Booster Club and the year’s leaders were introduced. The highlight of the fall season was Homecoming which was planned and sponsored by Booster Club. Queen Sue Selig and King Gary Becher reigned over the festivities. Booster Club also sponsored several bake sales, carmel apple sales, and tape dances. Another big fund-raiser was the concession stand during basketball season. 124 1.

The maties also put in extra time and served as the senior leaders of the Booster Club. During the fall, both squads of maties attended the football games, while in the winter the Columbus squad backed the wrestling team and the Discoverers squad backed the basketball team. Rosane Pinho, Columbus High’s foreign exchange student, served as the Discoverer’s mascot. A special recognition was given to Heidi Holmquist who put in extra effort before leaving CHS. These Booster Club members also took part in pep rallies and ran through the halls to create spirit on the days of games. The year was ended at the annual Booster Club banquet in May. At this banquet, old and new officers, cheerleaders, chant-leaders, maties, and star members were honored. 127 2 1. Band students spent many hours practising as the clarinet section did. 2.

The band then traveled to various contests including state marching in Lincoln. The concert season involved three concerts featuring guest soloists and playing for graduation. Also, Band Director Larry Marik received the outstanding band director of the year award topping off an eventful year. 7 129 A Bit of Las Vegas Found in Lab Band “A Las Vegas theme, more enthusiasm and new blazers all contributed immensely to the change in this year’s lab and jazz bands,” said band director Larry Marik. Lab band participated in several contests and workshops throughout the state. Several CHS musicians won solo awards at these contests. The band offered vital support at home basketball games and pep rallies. Also on the year's agenda were a fall concert, a spring concert and two concerts featuring guest musicians. 130 1.

Their main project, however, was the sponsoring of intramural basketball games. There were ten teams in all taking part. C-Club members were responsible for organizing teams and the schedule, and also keeping score and running the books at the games. The club also had fund-raisers such as cleaning the trophy cases and running the consession stand at district wrestling and district basketball. C-Club also sponsored the annual sixth grade track meet in May.

Businesses High school students learn the facts of business by running their own companies. Junior Achievement members from the three area high schools split up into three companies. They started their businesses by selling stock and purchasing materials. They then went to work making products, earning wages, and keeping the books. One of the most successful companies was Rainbow Creations, advised by Teresa Petr. A contributing factor was the work of Lisa Long who because of her work was a finalist in the Shizuoka “travelship” competition. First prize was a 3-week all-expense-paid trip to Shizuoka, Japan. Ash tray candle holders, refridgerator decorations, and deca-poshe shingles were sold in booths at shopping centers by company employees. They worked on their creations once a week at Fleischer Manufacturing which was their sponsor. CHS employee' include Mike Anderson, Michelle Behlen, Teri Cleland, Ken Kwap nioski, Lisa Long, Dona Novotny, Pam Sinclair, Jone Steiner, and Mary Zweiner. The Columbus Telegram sponsored the JA Publishing Company which was advised by Richard Toof. The company had a weekly page in the COLUMBUS TELEGRAM called “Just Rapping”. Employees did all the reporting, editing, and selling ads to run the company. Members from CHS were Crystal Bach, Dee Ann Divis, Jeff Barnholt, Randy Lambrecht, Lori Lanwehr, Craig Scheidegger, and Mike Whetstone. The East Side Industries employees sold their wares door-to-door and in booths. Soni Osterhout advised the production of refridgerator stickons, Christmas card holders, and turtle orna-mates. B-D sponsored CHS members who were Marty Clark, Terry Hruska, Christy Lowe, and Patti Yates. 139 2 1 VICA students earn medals Under the guidance of Mr. Gary Schafer, members of VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) had a very active and successful year. VICA members took part in several contests throughout the year with various members bringing home medals. State VICA convention honors will send Sue Selig, Jennifer Benedict and Cheryl Krings to nationals in June. Besides the contests, there were other activities such as the annual chili feed in the fall, tape dances and candy sales. The money raised in these activities was used to finance the trips to the various contests. Club officers for ’77-78 were Jan Struck, president; Jeff George, vice-president; Tom Munson, treasurer; Sue Selig, secretary;Cheryl Krings, reporter; and Ken Robinson, parliamentarian. Kerry Prochaska was a student advisor to the group. 140 1. Max Wunderlich, Dana Johnson and Jim Brown offer requests to dance disc jockey Ken Stavas at the January 20 tape dance. 2.

New advisor arrives, brings improvements A lot of changes took place for the staff of THE VOV AGE this year. Perhaps the biggest and most important change was the arrival of a new advisor, Mr. Bob Korver. Mr. Korver brought with him several new ideas which led to many improvements. The main improvement was the change to a better quality of photography. The staff also used a different style of layout. All of the staffs changes, however, were not for the good. The VOYAGE suffered from a serious money squeeze. Editor Tami Averett commented, “Everything we did this year was the way that saved the most money.” This was due to the fact that the VOYAGE was in uebt. This lead to an all black-and-white annual. Tami said, “We hated to do it, but color is just too expensive for our tight budget.” 142 5 4 1. Donna Brandt makes a final check of her pages before handing them in. 2.

U3 New director for orchestra A new director, Mr. Steve Bjella, was welcomed to CHS by the orchestra. Because Mr. Bjella had a small group, they were all able to progress individually.

Old English Comedy Revives 1800’s Life The era of long skirts, top hats, white gloves, garden walks and country estates briefly returned to CHS as the theatre department presented the English comedy “Pride and Prejudice.” The play, set in 1820 England, dealt with Mrs. Bennet’s none-to-subtle efforts to get her three daughters married. Her husband, on the other hand, is perfectly willing to let nature take its course. The combination sometimes proves to be near catastrophic. In spite of this, Jane, Elizabeth and Lydia find suitable husbands. Director of the play. Miss Ruth Schlobohm, said, “The actors did a great job. It was a difficult play. They untangled a lot of lines and put out a great effort.” 149 Honorary sponsors 3 major productions Thespians of CHS led by Ms. Ruth Schlobohni enjoyed a full year. The group sponsored two plays, a musical, several one-act plays and also co-sponsored Honors Night. Highlights of the year for many were the initiation week and the awards banquet. During the initiation week, twelve inductees performed a variety of zany acts. Some of these included walking backwards to classes, bowing before Thespians and wearing shoes on the wrong feet. At the end of the week, the initiates were officially accepted into the honorary society to bring the total membership to 27. Officers for the year were Tami Averett, president; Mary Conyers, vice-president; Jerry Bartholomew, treasurer;and Kay Davison, secretary. 3 150 1.

The event took place at 19:30 hours and was the final all-school play. The comedy, based on the book of the same title, offered the audience a change of pace as two “troublemaking surgeons”, Captains Forrest and Pierce, upset the normal routine of the U.S. Army, and were not satisfied until they get everything going their way. On the serious side, the play presented a mini-version of the Korean conflict and its effects on individuals. From the outrageous to the serious M A S H gave its outlook on life: take what you get and make the best of it. 152 1. iMajor Burns (Russ Hansen) explains to Father Mulcahy (Mark Stohr) what it is like to be the brunt of every joke. 2.

Council debates on student’s problems “Student Council is more of a service organization ’ explains advisor Chris Dixon. Working to solve student’s problems is the Student Council’s main goal. Most notable was the problem over open-ended school days for the next year in which members of the council debated the issue with the principal and the administration. In order to get most things changed, the Student Council must meet with the administration and school officials to achieve the best solution. Student Council consists of 10 representatives from each class and 4 officers. The officers were Mary Conyers, president; Jim Whetstone, vice-president; Barb Staroscik, secretary ; and Tim Munson, treasurer. Student Council raises enough money to fund, among other things, two major dances; the Snowball and Spring Royalty. 155 2 1.

Major changes included more letters to the editor, increased sports and classroom coverage, editor’s column and a greater use of photographs. The bi-weekly paper also introduced the Focus page. Each issue, a different aspect of the school and the surrounding community was researched in-depth and featured. Journalism students also contributed with feature stories and preview stories. t 4 5 6 157 Two abroad through AFS The American Field Service, AFS, had another successful year at CHS. Two Columbus juniors, Lori Wurde-man and Mike Tuma, were sent abroad this year through the efforts of AFS. Lori left February 19 for Paraguay. She will be living there for only 1 year. Mike also left in February to spend a year in Peru. Another CHS junior, Lori Schutt, qualified as a finalist for the summer exchange program. The AFS chapter also played host to a Brazilian girl, Rosane Pinho. Rosane, however, moved with her family in January. One main project done by AFS was hosting an AFS weekend. Fourteen foreign exchange students visited CHS for a day and spent the weekend with Columbus families. The Club also had fund raising projects such as Trick or Treating and a tape dance. Club officers were Val Schwartz, president; Lori Wurdeman, vice-president; Jane Beckmann, secretary ; and Dee Divis, treasurer. 158 1.

Underclassmen looked forward to the increased freedom and responsibility. Seniors were glad their time as underclassmen had worked so well for them. The time known as the Senior Year was a time for maturing and preparing. Maturing and growing into their roles as young adults. Preparing for their upcoming roles in society after their graduation. The year was not all work though. For many, being a senior was the greatest time socially. There were more things going on designed for seniors. Even the normal activities of CHS meant more because the seniors knew they would soon be leaving. Through their years at CHS, seniors had grown in many ways. They had learned to communicate their feelings and their needs, to be themselves in a crowd, to enjoy what they did, to be proud of their accomplishments...... i TO SHOUT.___________________________ 1.

Front row: Officers Mike Licbschwager and Rod Carsiensen. Each one of the 280 seniors in the Class of 1978 had something that they were known for. Besides from each individual the class as a whole was unique. This uniqueness started out with our “great” football team. Six of our seniors were injured during the season, producing a 2-7-1 record for our teams. But by no means did our teams lack spirit. Besides a great girls Booster Club, a group of senior guys got together and did cheers at football games and volleyball games.

Most weekends there was a party, but if there wasn’t you could always “drag main”. These were not the only reasons why the Class of 78 was unique.

We became involved in sports, organizations, and various other activities. We got acquainted with our classmen, but before that came initiation, (ugh!!) As sophomores we accepted a new and exciting experience-high school.

As a junior we were showered with many tests, like the PSAT and ACT. We were encouraged to make plans for the rapidly approaching after-graduation days. Being a junior wasn’t much, except making sure the junior-senior prom was a memorable occassion for everyone.

Admiration was inspired by seniors always getting the best-the first rows in the Booster Club at games, the first chairs in band, the starters in the basketball games, the front section of the auditorium for convocations, and the most attention.

The Senior class, although smaller, would never let them forget their status. Many underclassmen resented the pressure while others looked forward to the time when they would also be entitled to more. The period spent as underclassmen did have its purpose although most wouldn’t admit it. This time was designed for newcomers at CHS to become acquainted so later they could contribute to the best of their abilities. New ideas and concepts were introduced and the underclassmen were expected to gradually take on more responsibility. The Underclassmen time was a period for growing: intellectually, physically and emotionally. These two years were for learning: to express themselves, to not be afraid of themselves or their achievements, and..... .... TO SHOUT. 6 1.
